summary

During this period, I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I thought it was just a common gastrointestinal disease. But recently, the pain was very strong and it was a little hard to accept. Later, I went to the hospital for examination and said it was advanced colon cancer. For patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible, now let's talk about how to treat advanced colon cancer.

How to treat advanced colon cancer

Method 1: surgical treatment: This is the most effective method in the treatment of colon cancer, but the trauma brought by surgical treatment to patients with colon cancer is relatively large, the use of tumor scope is often more limited, most of them are to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, the patients receiving treatment must have a good constitution. In order to prevent postoperative complications, traditional Chinese medicine can be used after operation.  

Method 2: radiotherapy: this method mainly uses electromagnetic radiation to change the structure of biological molecules, so as to destroy or kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer has achieved good results. The toxic and side effects of this treatment are often relatively large.

Method 3: chemotherapy: chemotherapy is to bring chemical drugs to all parts of the body through blood vessels, which has an impact on the cells in all parts of the body of lung cancer patients. When using this method for treatment, the short-term effect is generally better. But the side effects of chemotherapy are also relatively large.

matters needing attention

In the treatment of advanced colon cancer, the current anti-tumor treatment methods can not "root out" the tumor cells. Another reason is that these therapies mainly target at the majority of non proliferating cells located in the periphery of the tumor, but can not affect the proliferating cells in the tumor, so they can not cure the symptoms. At the same time, to the advanced stage of colon cancer, patients should improve the quality of life and prolong the survival period.
